　　Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟).

　　Don't argue(争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't agree with your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

　　Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

　　Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

　　Talk about your values(价值观). The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

　　A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

If you want to travel with a partner, you may ask for one on the Internet. There are some tips about how to choose a right partner on the Internet:

Unluckily, you can’t ask a person if he has a good feeling. If you ask, everyone will tell you that they do! It is important that you have to get to know your travel partner to find out what kind of feeling he really has.

You can tell a lot about a person’s feeling by the words he uses. Ask him about his worst trip. Is he laughing about it now, or still unhappy? Does his worst trip sound like an adventure to you? If so, he doesn’t match you. Having a good feeling is important for having a good time.

Talk about the hotel you would like to stay in. See if you have the same habit of spending holidays. This is such a quick way to find a partner.

What’s more? Always keep in contact with(联系) your travelling partner when travelling. Don’t simply hang out without telling them, and don’t let them do it to you, either.
